Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 3 Large Avocado
  • 200 g Natural Yoghurt
  • Zest and juice of 1 Lime

Instructions

3 steps · ~43 minutes total

  1. Step 1

    Whizz half the avocado flesh with the yogurt, lime and lemon juice and seasoning. Dice the remaining avocado, then gently stir into the whizzed mix with most of the lime zest. Cover, then chill until ready to serve.

    8 minutes
    Keep your fingers curled under (claw grip) for safety when cutting.
  2. Step 2

    Boil potatoes for 6 mins, then drain well and toss with olive oil, chilli powder and cumin seeds. Now set aside until half an hour before your guests arrive.

    10 minutes
    Use a large pot to prevent boiling over. Add salt to the water for extra flavor.
  3. Step 3

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then roast potatoes for about 30 mins, shaking the tray halfway, until golden and tender. Transfer the dip to one or two bowls, scatter with the remaining lime zest and serve with the hot potatoes, and tortilla chips for dipping.

    25 minutes
    Always preheat your oven fully before baking for even cooking.
